Typical Ukrainian women

There is a stereotype concerning the description of a typical Ukrainian woman that she has “black eyebrows and brown eyes” like in outstanding Ukrainian song “Ochi chornye” («Black eyes»). But practically this cliché turns out to be old, as there is a great variety of fair-haired and dark-haired Ukrainians with blue, green or grey eyes.

Theoretically, the appearance and traits of all Ukrainian women can be divided into several types depending on region of their origin.

Southern anthropological area

Lower Dnipro type: dark-haired women with cheerful nature

The inhabitants of southern regions, such as Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhia are mostly dark-haired and dark-eyed with straight nose and oblong face.

They inherited their appearance from the Scythian-Sarmatian tribes and Turkish nomads (proto-Bulgarians). It is commonly believed that southern women are more cheerful, optimistic and have easy attitude to life. They received these traits due to their stable lifestyle by the sea and warm climate. Some psychologists state that such women are also witty and businesslike.

Central anthropological area

Fair-haired women with changeable nature

The greatest majority of Ukrainian ladies belongs to this type. They live in Kyiv, Cherkasy, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytsky and Dnipro regions.

Ukrainian women from central regions are usually of average height and have medium-sized face with small cheekbones and eyes, round head and fair hair. In some regions they are dark-haired with dark eyes.

From the ancient times the territory of Ukraine was the crossroads of trade routes, where blood was blended by various tribes and races, such as Trypillians, Iranians, Scythians, Greeks and local proto-Slavic tribes. That`s why the appearance of Ukrainian women from the central area has “average characteristic”.

Ukrainians from Central regions are usually controversial and have a great imagination and fantasy. Mood and health swings are also inherent to such ladies that is explained by flat territory with great opportunities and the lack of any barriers.

Danube type: individualists with European roots

This subtype of central Ukrainians takes the second place by majority and represents such regions as Khmelnitsky, Vinnytsia and partly Ternopil. Characteristic features of such women are europeoid traits: long and narrow face, straight and thin nose, fair hair and dark eyes. Women inherited such traits from their ancient ancestors – Celtic and Thracian tribes.

The temper of Danube Ukrainians is changeable, headstrong and sometimes skeptical.

Northern anthropological area

Polessky and Volyn types: esthetes with medieval appearance

The inhabitants of such regions as Kyiv (partly), Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Lviv and Ternopil (partly) have mostly fair hair, blue or grey eyes and medium height. They have an active life position and well-developed esthetic feeling. Such women are also emotional, dynamic, vigorous and sanguine.

Higher Dnipro type: nature lovers with rare eye colors

This anthropological type is very rare for Ukraine and can be met only on the north of Chernygiv region in Repkinsky district. Their distinctive features are very light eyes and hair, which are untypical for Ukrainians. Such women are quiet enough and cheerful. They are in harmony with nature, which is prosperous on the north of Ukraine.

Western anthropological area

Carpathian type: dark hair and harsh temper

Carpathian Ukrainians can be met in Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Lviv, Ternopol regions. Their appearance differs from typical Ukrainian women: they are of short stature, have round-shaped head, narrow prolonged face, straight forehead and convex nose. Their hair and eyes color is very dark.

Scientists call Carpathian inhabitants “a bridge between Ukrainian people and ethnic groups from Central and Southern Europe”, for their external similarity with neighboring Balkan people.

Carpathian women are patient, cautious, persistent and strong in spirit. They have optimistic outlook on life, playful character and friendliness.
